Abundance or bust, baby.
Future Front is returning to The Line Hotel Austin to host Swim Sessions — a four-part poolside series, celebrating summer.
Come through on the last Thursday of every month to vibe alongside women and LGBTQ+ DJs, take a dip in the pool and enjoy a specially curated nighttime art market.
Swimming is optional. Mutual respect is a must. Swimsuits and its-the-weekend energy encouraged. Everybody and every body welcome.
Tickets are $10 and every cent will benefit community initiatives we care about. Capacity is limited.

MEET THE DJ
Y2K (@Y2Kmusic) is a performance, music and installation artist, whose work moves freely across different realms of theatrical nightlife performance, media production and performance art. Their work explores themes of queer stigma, trauma and sexual liberation. In their multimedia performances, they usually embody a queer version of the Y2K Virus/Millennium Bug. In the past, Y2K’s work has been exhibited nationally at Roots and Culture Contemporary Art Center – Chicago, The Museum of Human Achievement, ATM Gallery and Fusebox Festival. Additionally, performing under p1nkstar, Inc., Y2K has performed for OUTsider Fest, gAyCL Music Festival, Contrast Film Festival, Stargayzer Festival and has been billed with Charli XCX, Alok V. Menon, and Dorian Electra among others.
This series’ DJs have been curated by Future Front team member María Rivera-Felizardo.
